“Belal Muhammad’s arguments for getting a title chance are undeniable. But let's not pretend that Khamzat Chimaev doesn't have his merits. He defeated ranked welterweights Gilbert Burns and Li Jingliang, making weight both times. And his fight against Leon Edwards was booked three times. I share the opinion that Muhammad should get a title shot. But if you name the second candidate, then this is undoubtedly Khamzat Chimaev,” Anik wrote on his social networks.
Let us remind you that Chimaev previously stated that he would not fight at UFC 300.
